How to dry meat?

Meat drying is a key step in food processing, which extends shelf life through scientific dehydration, while concentrating flavor and enhancing taste. Compared to traditional air drying, modern drying technology can accurately control temperature, humidity, and wind speed, avoid mold and pollution, ensure uniform product color and more complete nutrient retention, and meet the needs of the high-end market. Jinlu Machinery will explain to you:

1、 Complete Analysis of Meat Drying Methods

The common methods of meat drying currently include:

① Natural drying: Low cost but greatly affected by weather, prone to bacterial growth, and difficult to ensure hygiene;

② Hot air drying: Heating air with electricity, steam or gas, efficient and uniform, suitable for large-scale production;

③ Microwave drying: fast speed but high equipment cost, prone to local overheating;

④ Heat pump drying: Low temperature dehumidification is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, especially suitable for high-quality meat products that are sensitive to temperature.
